Cash for Caulkers is a stimulus program proposed by the US President to revive the American economy, recovering from the slump of the past two years. This program is aimed at the home owners as well the manufacturers.
The cash for Caulkers program proposes to offer financial incentives for those people who retrofit their homes in an energy efficient manner. What this means is that American home owners can now get reimbursed by initiating energy efficient measures for their homes.
According to some experts, there are five million homes that need to be retro fitted. This means that there is an opportunity to create huge job opportunities in this sector. It is estimated that it requires more than five hundred thousand people to complete the retro fit work of these five million homes. Further, this opens up the energy manufacturing sector where hundreds of thousands of jobs can be created.
This proposal has a lot of supporters as it not only creates more job opportunities for the American people; it also helps in saving money. Further, it also helps in building an environment friendly society and at the same time reduces carbon emissions. According to a few experts, this program will enable the private contractors to undertake energy audits of homes buy and install the necessary energy efficient equipments.
The cash for Caulkers program provides rebates of up to fifty percent on the purchase of energy efficient equipment and also the installation. This rebate is subject to a maximum of twelve thousand dollars. So, when are you getting your home energy efficient?
